Please give a brief description of your job and what it involves?

My role at Evergreen Shipping involves general administration, specifically preparing bills of Lading for customers who are using the company to ship goods. Managing all the administration and bookings for vessels that are about to sail. Informing customers of damage to goods or containers that they are liable for. Also informing them of any costs that they may have incurred for not clearing their goods or returning the companies containers on time.

What key advice would you give to current students who would like to get into a similar job to you?

I applied on the website Jobsite. I think it is the best website to use to get office jobs. Monster jobs is good as well.Also using recruitment agencies is a good way to get work because they match you work experience to what is a available and they look for jobs for you but you have to be proactive and keep in contact with them to show that you′re keen to get into a job.Kelly Services is a good recruitment agency for government jobs. Also plan personnel for administration and accountancy jobs.

Why do you think you got this job e.g. what skills/knowledge/experience etc?

I obtained my previous experience by doing temporary, contract and permanent jobs from recruitment agencies. The shipping job I obtained by applying directly to the company as they advertised on Jobsite.
